Thank God....We made it thru the 1st week of school!!!

The first week of school has passed, and we are all still alive....LOL! Trying to wake up 13 year old boys (almost 14) is awful! I keep thinking about getting them an alarm clock, but I doubt they would hear that. Hopefully, the routine will kick back in by next week's end and it will get better. They both like their teachers and have made some new friends, so that is good. I always worry so about them. I guess that will never change. They will always be my tiny babies.

We have a new boss at work and she seems to be very knowledgeable. She has a lot of plans for our area, and I think she will be great for us.

I don't think I have mentioned before that I have psoriasis. It is pretty bad, and has even gotten into my nails. I have had it since I was 17, and my mom has it too. I was taking Enbrel injections a few years ago, and it clears it up....but insurance changes made it impossible for me to keep taking it. All that to say, I have been approved to take it again!!! And I picked up the first month's rx yesterday. I am keeping the shots in the fridge at work, and one of the nurses there can give them to me. I had my first shot yesterday. I guess I am going to have to try to do it myself again, since I will have to while I'm on my cruise.

Speaking of my cruise, it is now less than a month away. We leave on 09/17/07, and return 09/22/07. I am beginning to get excited about it. I checked the Carnival website, and they have given us room E85 on the Empress deck. It is the top level of staterooms, and our room is midway from front to back. The website gives a diagram of the boat where you can click on the levels and find your room. It is too cool! I'm also starting to get a little nervous about being out in the middle of the ocean....but as Scarlett said, "I will think about that another day"...LOL!

I am off to Curves again....I haven't been in a week and a half...the temp here has been over 100, and it's been all I could do to go to work and come home. Now it's time to get back in the swing.....

First day of school.....8th grade...

Where does the time go? Logan and Dylan started 8th grade today....Arnold Middle School. They seemed to have a good day today, so we will keep our fingers crossed. When I got home (after grocery shopping....hot, sweaty, exhausted) they had washed dishes and mopped the kitchen floor. Of course, Pop was there to help get them started, but still. I was very proud and told them so. It's kinda cool having boys this big...they can help me with lots of things now. Anyway, no homework on the first day...thank God!!!! Hope everyone else had a good day.

God it is HOT!!!

It is 9pm, and the temperature just dropped from 98 to 97 degrees. Good grief! In my next life, I hope I live in Alaska!!! My AC has been acting up too. Thank God for good landlords. It kept kicking the breaker off last night and the temp inside stayed at 89 FOREVER!!! Finally started staying after about 10pm. The landlord sent someone out to look at it this afternoon, and it seems to be working ok right now. Let's keep our fingers (and toes) crossed.

School starts back Monday morning. I am dreading having to wake up 2 boys every morning. Maybe with a little prayer and extra meds at night, we will get thru it. I do pray they have a better year this year. 8th grade can be brutal.

I have met someone new, and we have really hit it off. His name is Terry, and he is 52. He has a job, and a car, and his own place (actually has an apt and a roommate)....so he is already doing better than my 2nd ex....LOL! Speaking of which, I ran across his My Space page (before he set it to private) and his singles ad on Plenty of Fish.com. He is still under the impression that he is 5'9" tall. HAH! He has probably never been 5'9". I am 5'7", and I had to look down at him. What a doofus!

I am still going to Curves....but have not weighed again. I did not go at all this past week due to the heat. I do not do 100 + weather well. Basically just come home, undress, and crash. I do not know how the people with outside jobs do it. My hats off to them.

MY BIRTHDAY IS 3 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!! 09/01/59......
